FAQs

Question

Where should I stay?

Answer

We recommend an Airbnb in New Plymouth or surrounding areas—there are some really cute ones in town, especially near the beach -- Fitzroy, Bell Block, East End are all great spots. We’ll also share hotel suggestions closer to the date.

Question

What time does the wedding start?

Answer

We have no idea yet! We’ll update you, but probably around 2 or 3 p.m.

Question

What’s the weather like in November?

Answer

It’s very unpredictable! It could be a crisp sunny 20°C (about 68°F) or it could be wet and cold. Either way, we’ll have a marquee or the barn ready!

Question

What’s the dress code?

Answer

Anything you want! But think garden vibes—cocktail attire. It’s in a garden, on a farm.

Question

What shoes should I wear?

Answer

Wear whatever shoes you’re comfortable in—but it’s on grass, so if you wear stilettos, you’ll probably be aerating the lawn more than walking!

Question

Can I bring kids?

Answer

Yes, kids are welcome! We’ll plan on hiring one or two babysitters, with an area for them to play, do crafts, and whatnot—so feel free to let loose on the dance floor! Just please RSVP them if you plan to bring them.

Question

How do I get to the venue?

Answer

You can Uber, taxi, or drive. Plenty of parking. If enough people are in one area, we’ll try to organize a shuttle. If you drive and drink, or just love to sleep under the stars, you can camp overnight in the paddock -- just bring a tent!

Question

Can you bring a date?

Answer

Check your invite for a plus one! If you’re newly dating someone we haven’t met, text us!

Question

Is there something going on the next day?

Answer

We haven’t planned that far, but maybe Sunday we’ll have everyone out to the farm in Ōpunake for a barbecue & river float. If not, maybe a beach day in New Plymouth. We’ll decide soon!

Question

Any recommendations if I'm traveling from NZ?

Answer

We recommend staying at least 10 days in the country to explore. We’re happy to help with ideas or itineraries!

Question

When is the RSVP deadline?

Answer

Were hoping for a general headcount sooner rather than later! Even a “maybe” via text is fine. If you are a 100% yes or hard no, please let us know now. Officially, August 28 is great.

Question

Who should I call with questions?

Answer

Call, text, or email either of us with any questions!
